The AK47

What was really interesting to me was to see the significance of the AK47. It is nice to see different perspectives on different weapons of that era because of how many different ones were coming out, and how the technology was advancing so quickly. Having an opinion on the AK47 and having a comparison to others (AR15, M16, etc.) is really quite interesting. The effect these weapons had on warfare was quite large, and having different opinions on each is quite helpful in understanding the advantages and disadvantages not only of the weapon, but also the country.  I liked how the author gave an extensive background about the weapon to provide the reader with some knowledge about what he was going to be talking about. This article has many connections to the world wars, and the effect that this weapon had.
